May from Lodz, Poland
Sends Tragic Messages to David
A. Brown of a Whole People
Perishing in Poland
230,000 JEWS IN LODZ ARE DOOMED, SHE DECLARES
NEW YORK.—In scores bf homes in Lodzi I^oland's industrial center which she visited during the past few days, whole families awaiting death by star-, vation and resigned, to, their fate de¬ clares Miss .irma May; special commisr sioner to Poland for thc United Jew¬ ish Campaign in a radio message to Daxid A. Brown, one of a series in, \. \vhich she is describing the appalling situation of the Jews of that country. "Almost all the factories have been closed up for thc past eighteen months. The few that are open run about two days a week, but they give no employ¬ ment to Jews. Most, of the factories have auctioned off their entire equip¬ ment," says Miss May's message.
"There are 20,000 Jews registered here as unemployed, which means that about 80,000 people arc without means of support, and their suffering is unspeak¬ able. Eighty-five per cent of the small traders in Lodz arc doing no business due to the closing of the factories and the lack of credit. The remaining fifteen per dent is in agony. Due to the idle¬ ness of the artisans in Lodz, five thou¬ sand families, say another 20,000 men, women and children are in terrible want. "There is a fifty per cent decrease here in commerce. Only 10,000 Jewish mer¬ chants have taken out commercial li¬ censes this year, compared to 20,000 last year. Approxima'*ely 40,000 people are already affected :\nd breadless because of the collapse of comnlerce, and the rest, those who arc trying to keep their heads above water, are doomed to bank¬ ruptcy In the very near future.
"In the towns within the Lodz area, and especially Alexandrow, Konstanty- now, Zclow, Turek, Fabiance, Belhatow, Czerkow, and Brezinow, 400 small Jew¬ ish factories have been compelled to close, and the families of 20,000 manu¬ facturers and merchants are starving. "While complete statistics are as yet unavailable, the daily records show an alarming increase of hysteria, insanity and suicides within the last few months, school records disclose an increase of tuberculosis among children, due to mal¬ nutrition and lack of fuel and medicine running as high as 6")%. Sixty per cent of the children attending school live on weak tea and black bread distributed by thc school authorities. And there is imminent danger that the schools will have to close.
, "There is grave danger of the outbreak of typhoid fever and other epidemics caused by hunger, and the communities are without means for safeguarding themselves against this new peril. One hundred per cent of 40<> school chil¬ dren examined for filth diseases have been found to be infected.
"To sum it all up, 230.000 Jews in Lodz and its environs are doomed un¬ less immediate relief is sent. Please in¬ form the American people that ten cents a day will save a human life." (Cottiintted ok page 4)
